morning." i'm charlie rose in washington. norah o'donnell is in new york. there is a lot to talk about after president obama's first white house news conference in eight months. it covered everything from the budget crisis to libya, to the david petraeus scandal. >> the president himself said that so much has happened lately people forget the election of just a week ago. nancy cordes covered the news conference. she's at the white house. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the president came to the east room of the white house hoping to push his message on the fiscal cliff and he did but he also got pressed with a number of questions about his handling of foreign policy and national security and one question in particular got a rise out of him about his u.n. ambassador, susan rice. in his first full press conference since march president obama was asked about the criticism of u.n. ambassador susan rice. his likely choice to replace hillary clinton as secretary of state. >> besmerch her reputation is

outrageous. >> reporter: rice has come under fire for stating that the september attack on an american consulate in libya appeared to be the result of a spontaneous demonstration. >> as i've said before, she made an appearance at the request of the white house in which she gave her best understanding of the intelligence that had been provide to her. if senator mccain and senator graham and others want to go after somebody, they should go after me. >> reporter: and that's just what senator john mccain did a short time later. he has been one of rice fiercest critics. >> first and foremost the president and commander-in-chief is most responsible and i hope the president has no illusions

about our view of his responsibility. >> reporter: the president was asked about the calf. >> what i'm not going to do is to extend bush tax cuts for the wealthiest 2% that we can't afford and according to economists will have the least positive impact on our economy. a modest tax increase on the wealthy is not going to break their backs. they will still be wealthy. >> one of the most frequent criticisms we've heard over the past few years from members on both sides is you haven't done enough to reach out and build relationships. are there concrete ways that you plan to approach your relationships with congress in a second term? >> look, i think there's no doubt i can always do better. i think all of us have responsibilities to see if there's things we can improve on and i don't exempt myself from needing to do some self-reflection and see if i can improve our working relationship. >> reporter: the president also said in that press conference

that he's eager to pursue immigration reform and climate change policy, but charlie and norah he didn't give a timetable for when we would see any initiatives out of the white house on those issues. >> nancy cordes, thank you. cbs news political reporter john dickerson is in washington with me. good morning. good to be in washington. >> up reversed roles here. you're here and norah is in new york. >> your impressions of this press conference. >> the president struck me when he said he's mindful of second term presidents that overreached. part of it was restrained but it wasn't when he took a whack at senators mccain and graham. he said he was being self-reflective about dealing with congress on one hand he's being self-reflective on the other hand he was so strong with mccain and graham, the way they feel in the white house is essentially mccain and graham are take a political shot at the president by picking on susan rice if they want to pick on

anyone they should pick on him or the intelligence chiefs who gave her the intelligence that she was repeating. >> there's also some political considerations coming from the republican side, mitt romney yesterday had an analysis of the president's victory. >> this is something i was picking up in the interviews with romney folks right after the election and basically their argument is the president did well with minorities, african-americans, hispanic voters and young voters because he systematically basically bought them off. with young voters he offered, talked a lot about college loans and with hispanic voters having younger hispanic voters, the children of illegal immigrants give them citizenship and then with african-american voters one strategist said it was this lowering of welfare requirements. that argument was essentially the one mitt romney made with donors yesterday in a phone call and arguing basically this is how the president did it. >> and that's also paul ryan talking about turban vote. norah?

>> that's right. and john, it was almost as if romney told supporters that obama won because he gave a chicken in every potato everybody. >> exactly. he's now back to -- this was essentially the sentiment at the heart of that secretly recorded video that came out during the campaign where he talked about the 47%, the people dependent on the government they would vote for the president because he would hand things out. romney spent several weeks trying to walk back from that statement. now he seems to be embracing it again, the idea these voters are so easily manipulated the president merely needed to dangle a thing or two in front of them and they would rush him to at the polls. the reason you would embrace this argument if you're in the romney camp is the alternative argument is that they totally misread the electorate is a more painful one to embrace. >> one question that comes out of this is this notion that nancy cordes raised, is the president clearly desirous of reaching out with good intentions to republicans, because the susan rice deal

suggests that he's ready to fight. >> on that one he is because he's irritated. sort of at a personal level as it was explained to me. on the taxes, though, he was both kind of firm but trying to be ambiguous. clearly the president thinks you have to raise revenue somehow. you can do it one of three ways. raise taxes on those making more than $250,000. reduce loopholes or some combination thereof. he basically thinks there's no way to do it without some kind of tax increase but he's trying not to look like a bully about it. >> john dickerson, thank you very much. there are new details this morning in the camethat forced cia director david petraeus to resign. the military is taking action against the woman involved in the case and we also know the name of the fbi agent who triggered the investigation, bob orr is here in washington. bob, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie and norah. cbs news now has learned that several months ago tampa socialite jill kelley sent a

series of emails to david petraeus complaining about the upsetting messages that kelley had received from broadwell, petraeus' mistress. kelley took those messages to a friend who was an fbi agent a key first step in exposing the whole scandal. law enforcement sources now identify that agent as 47-year-old frederick humphries. they describe humphries as a solid veteran counterterrorism agent. humphries took kel chip's complaint about harassing emails to the tampa cyber squaund a move that triggered the investigation that one covered the affair of broadwell and petraeus and led to the investigation of general john allen. at the white house the president for the first time addressed the scandal and praised petraeus. >> general petraeus had an extraordinary career. he served this country with great distinction. in iraq, in afghanistan and as head of the cia. >> reporter: the president was asked whether he was concerned

that the fbi investigation which started in late spring was only related to him last week. >> am withholding judgment with respect to how the entire process surrounding general petraeus came up. you know, we don't have all of the information yet. >> reporter: the president also said the investigation found that no national security information had been compromised. and just this morning while on a trip in thailand defense secretary leon panetta said he doesn't see the scandal widening. >> i'm not aware of any others that could be involved in this issue at the present time. >> reporter: on capitol hill wednesday fbi director robert mueller briefed congressional intelligence leaders saying the fbi did find that broadwell who had been researching a book on petraeus may have mishandled classified information. also on wednesday the army suspended broadwell security

clearances and the air force base rejected kelley's access to the base. officials have said emails between kelley and allen contain nothing of a sexual nature but could be embarrassing. allen has denied any wrongdoing and has not spoken publicly but his attorney did release a statement on his behalf saying he was fully cooperating with the investigations and to the kent there's certain questions on communication with general allen he plans to resolve those questions as quickly as possible. in an interview with charlie rose in washington on wednesday night the head of u.s. special operations, maintained high praise for his colleagues. >> my time serving with david petraeus and john allen are the two finest officers i've ever worked with. i'll leave it at that. >> reporter: david petraeus is

set to testify before congress tomorrow morning. we're told the hearing will be closed. charlie, norah. >> bob orr thank you. john miller is with us. a former fbi assistant director. lots of interesting stuff to talk about first. this fbi agent number one the whistleblower what are we learning about him? >> fred humphries is an interesting figure in the fbi. he is a member of the s.w.a.t. team. he cut his teeth on the millennium bombing plot when he was a two year agent because he spoke french. but he's also got a medal, the director's award for a shootout at the air force base front gate. on that level he's known as a hard charger. what comes with that, though, according to people i spoke with, a lot of people said there's a bit of an edge to him when he was at guantanamo bay as one of the interrogators he left with a lot of bad blood, lodged

complaints by fellow agents for the fbi to investigate. he brought in a case that he wasn't assigned to went outside of the congress as reporting that which is just forbidden. is he going to be in some kind of trouble and we don't know yet. >> another big question front page of the "wall street journal" today is about some tension between the cia director david petraeus and the head of dni that petraeus just as this stuff was about to break wanted to push back and put out his own timeline in benghazi, a different timeline than had been put out by the white house. what does this suggest? >> this is a david petraeus who comes into the cia as a military guy that everybody is looking at, he's not one of us who says i can rise to the challenge, i can defend my own agency here, i can show the troops i'll fight for him. he gets in a sandwich between

the administration account that's a political football and going out for his agency with both barrels and in the middle of this a sex scandal interrupts that. what's interesting he wants to do it anyway. >> he may tomorrow behind closed doors with congress. final question is about was there a significant amount of classified material on paula broadwell's computers. we saw that raid this week. are we learning more she may have had more material than we thought? >> yes. i think -- maybe more than we thought. the way they got to those materials in that raid she signed a consent form to search her house. she told them what they would find and where to find them. she has a security clearance. >> that's not been revoked. >> but which has been suspended, first step toward revoking it. these are documents most likely in her job she went and downloaded or removed for her dissertation for her petraeus biography. >> in thailand this morning leon

panetta said he has tremendous confidence in general allen. he remains on the job as the top u.s. commander in afghanistan a and clarissa ward is in kabul. >> reporter: the military here in afghanistan is keeping very tight lipped about this. we put in a request to visit one of the bases here and speak with some of the troops and we were told that that would not be possible and that the soldiers here have no public comment on such matters, that they remain focused on third mission. now we were able to speak to some officers who asked to remain anonymous and their reaction to this scandal were mixed. some said this does not affect the mission here in afghanistan, that it has no bearings whatsoever on their day-to-day operations. but one major wrote this to me. quote, we're taught to live the army values and assure our soldiers down the lowest private live as well.

when one of the most senior ranking and well-known generals of our generation can't do it it makes it tough to make a private do it and then discipline them when they don't. for cbs "this morning," clarissa ward, kabul. >> a week of border violence along the gaza strip is escalating this morning. three israelis were killed when hamas fired dozens of rockets into israel. on israel wednesday assassinated hamas's top commander. alan, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. leaders from both the west and arab world are trying to douse the flames of the latest conflict between the israelis and hamas but so far neither sign is willing to call a truce. rockets sent israeli civilians seeking cover. the rockets are poorly aimed but deadly nonetheless. a family of three died when one struck their home. they had gone on to the roof to

watch an aerial display. about the same time as the family died more than 1,000 gaza residents took to the streets. the march the office bury ahmad jabari, killed in an air strike. the funeral was as much a gesture of defiance as it was mourning. his killing was retaliation for a series of rogt attacks launched by gaza by palestinian militants. the mini war was announced on twitter. at 6:22 local time last night the israeli defense force tweeted we recommend that no hamas operative show their face above ground. hamas responded with their own tweet. our blessed hands will reach your leaders and soldiers wherever they are. you opened hell's gates on yourselves. minutes later the israeli military tweeted a picture of the hamas leader, ahmad jabari

eliminated. overnight a number of rockets were intercepted. those living within 25 miles of gaza were ordered to stay home. there are dire warnings this morning that the spiral of violence could get out of control leading to wider instability in an already seething region. hamas claims it has rockets capable of reaching tel aviv and the israelis believe them. israel had no interest in a war but would deal with what he called a painful blow to hamas. >> allen

average used car price has now gone up $7 thoun $1,000. that's a very significant jump. when you think about it a quarter of a million cars are now damaged. everyone is running out the replace them and some of the damaged cars happen to be on car lots. so the actual supply of cars that was available for people to buy was also washed away. >> so people whose car has been damaged should you buy a new or used car. >> this is the question. it's actually an interesting answer because most people think if you buy a used car you'll get a better deal than if you buy a new car. but in some cases you can actually get a better deal on a new car regardless of what's happened to the cars in the hurricane. in fact there are a number of them. mdx, acure gentleman, honda, that are generally speaking less expensive new than used. >> what about the concern that some of these cars that were damaged in hurricane sandy could be refurbished and then resold.

>> you have to watch out for them. this is something we saw after hurricane katrina after multiple walsh damages in this country. you tend to see cars make their way back out into the supply. you have to be vigilante about it. you can check for the car's vin number. there are experiences and i've talked to people who bought cars where inside the car they found two different vin numbers. that's a dead giveaway that you're dealing with a car that more than likely has been in an accident or faced water damage. go to carfax.com to check these things. you can check for water in the head lights and check for corrosion. that's a dead giveaway there was sea water involved in hurricane sandy and that's a corrosive item. >> if you think i can get a refurbished car for a good deal. >> not a good deal.

corrosion inside your engine, it will eventually prevent your engine from running. >> because of the saltwater >> sea water is corrosive and wreaks havoc on the engine among multiple other parts. if you can prevent from driving that type of car that's what you want going forward. >> does insurance cover water damage in a car? >> it's interesting because a lot of people have looked at homeowners insurance and they had issues with getting their homeowners insurance to cover water damage. with cars most comprehensive coverage actually will cover water damage as will $150 will get you comprehensive coverage. most people have it. liability insurance, however will not cover it. most people have the comprehensive plan. >> finally just for people out there, who is protecting us, you know, the consumer from buying cars that have been damaged like this that can be a real lemon. >> there are a lot of watchdogs. general motors and ford have come out and said if you buy a

new car after your car was damaged in the hurricane we'll give you and additional $500 off your new car because we can appreciate what's happened to you and your car. now, they are certainly reputable and they are trying to make sure that the car associations themselves make sure this doesn't happen but you have to be a vigilante consumer as well. new hi-tech tools have the potential to cut traffic deaths

franklin and eleanor roosevelt and that was such a dramatic moment the world war ii and they are such big people i can't go back to franklin pierce. lincoln is the moby dick. i was terrified when i started. how i could do anything new about him. but it was worth taking that risk to live with his character for ten years. >> i feel in the book and the movie we get to know him. i was surprised to hear about his voice because i assumed he had this big booming gregory peck voice. now for the first time you believe and many others believe daniel day-lewis got it right. >> he wanted to get those little things right. i took him to springfield for a couple of days to see the various lincoln sites and we talked about voice and walk and humor and people who knew lincoln at the time said he had a very high pitched voice and when he spoke to those big crowds the baritone voice would

he was rival with and brought into his cabinet. is there a lesson for obama now in his second term with that, with lincoln? >> even in his first term president obama tried to bring in -- hilary was the big rival at the beginning. somebody asked him early on right after he won the nomination would you really be willing to put into your cabinet a rival even if his or her style was an occasional pain in the butt. he quoted lincoln. ep said the country is in peril, strongest people i want by my side. he tried to bring in judd greg and biden. the trouble with our country it's so divided the other party feel it's a traitor to join a cabinet and even in fdr's time he brought two top republicans into his cabinet. he brought in businessmen. we got figure that out now. we're under a common problem to get this economy going again. he'll bring in who he can. >> is it true he sought you out
